[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ina Garten recipes have about a 99.99% success rate for me, and I cook alot. However, they are not for the neophyte. The Joy of Cooking is a good primer. Reading recipes and cookbooks and food magazines is essential - you start to learn what "goes together" in various cuisines and then can improvise on your own. Mostly, you really have to invest time in cooking. I don't think anyone can become a great cook when their goal is to just get dinner on the table in 20 minutes. (NOT saying good dinners can't be made in 20 minutes - just that the learning process takes time, and is an investment that will eventually mean you CAN put a great dinner on the table in as much, or as little, time as you like to spend on it.)

what is great about JOC is that it is not just recipes, but TECHNIQUE.

Don't underestimate the complexity that JOC can offer.  There are quite a few difficult recipes in there, ,but they also include the building blocks.

Here is an AWESOME cooking forum, I use it all the time.  Professional Chefs are many of  the posters and I've gotten the most complex questions answered.
